A research team led by faculty from the Florida State University College of Education is helping science educators teach their students to think like scientists.
Findings from the first phase of their project “Learning through Collaborative Design Professional Development” were published last month in the journal Scientia.
“Science, like many disciplines, has specific ways of working through problems and questions,” said Ellen Granger, director of the FSU Office of STEM Teaching Activities (OSTA) and co-director of the FSU-Teach program. “The project focuses on engaging students in learning science by thinking like scientists and figuring things out for themselves with some teacher guidance. We know this results in deeper, longer-lasting learning than when students are just told how things work.”
